Steemians claim that steemit is a platform of open discourse with no censorship

So as I've read in their white paper. However, people are still struggles with personal attack, unable to accept differences in opinion which often leads to downvote and flagging.

If you want your post to be read by many users and/or wish to get a good steem-reward you better post something which whales like

I think that it's a common thing in a social media is that a practical information is valued more than an article which caused us to think and to question outside the box. Which is why, traveling and cooking tips, and review are doing so well in the platform. However, there are well written article about philosophical and politics which are doing well too :)

That's just my cent's of thought :)

Have a great day !
